2023 NFL Free Agency, Live Updates: NFC North

February 24, 2023 DraftNasty Staff Reports Leave a comment

The 2023 NFC North free agency/offseason is about to pick up steam. The Chicago Bears traded the number one overall pick in this year’s draft to the Carolina Panthers and still contain a Top Ten pick with another first-rounder coming a year from now. There are several decisions facing teams over the next couple of weeks. Will Patrick Peterson return to Minnesota? Do the Lions retain wide receiver DJ Chark and running back Jamaal Williams? In Green Bay, how much would it hurt to lose perennial starting safety Adrian Amos? Please come back for more updates as this is a live document.

2022 NFL Free Agency, Live Updates: NFC North

March 18, 2022 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

The 2022 NFC North’s free agency period began with a no-brainer, as the Packers gave its back-to-back league MVP a record deal. The team also traded away its franchise receiver and the Bears lost their top wideout in free agency. Did the Lions get its deep threat? The Minnesota Vikings picked up a smart, productive linebacker to team with Eric Kendricks. Please come back for more updates as this is a live document.

2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North

May 4, 2021 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

The 2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North breaks down the selections of all the division teams. The Detroit Lions prioritized the trenches under new HC Dan Campbell. While, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings look to the future at quarterback with Justin Fields and Kellen Mond. Can Eric Stokes (pictured) help the backend in Green Bay?

Detroit Lions
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 7th overall	Detroit Lions	Penei Sewell	6’5 331 OT-Oregon	3/1st Round	Sewell’s nastiness made him one of the best picks in this year’s draft and fits what the Lions are trying to do with a physical running game.
2nd round, 41st overall	Detroit Lions	Levi Onwuziurike	6’3 297 DT-Senior	41/2nd Round	Despite not being an elite interior pass rusher, there is room for Onwuzurike to develop into more in that facet of his game.
3rd round, 72nd overall	Detroit Lions	Alim McNeill	6’2 317/DT-NG-NC State	72/2nd Round	McNeill has all of the tools to be a legitimate first and second down force as a zero-technique nose guard. His strength is sudden, particularly after establishing hand placement inside the numbers of centers or guards. The All-ACC defensive tackle can win laterally or to a spot, but there are questions about his ability to finish as a pass rusher.
3rd round, 101st overall	Detroit Lions	Ifeatu Melifonwu	6’3 213/CB-Syracuse	187/3rd Round	His tackling was solid for the most part, but he did not attack stalk blocks with a dominant mentality. Overall, Melifonwu played with awareness and attacked the three-step passing game. After a solid Senior Bowl week, he should hear his name called early on Day 3 of the draft process.
4th round, 112th overall	Detroit Lions	Amon-Ra St. Brown	5’11 197/WR-USC	21/2nd Round	Traffic. How do prospects play within the high traffic areas on the field? St. Brown attacks traffic as a route runner or blocker.
4th round, 113th overall	Detroit Lions (from Carolina Panthers)	Derrick Barnes	6’0 245/LB-Purdue	169/3rd Round	Barnes’ value depends on where a team decides to play him. In 2019, he was more than capable as a rush outside linebacker. We feel the former All-State running back’s feel for the game should be used in a multitude of roles. His experience on special teams helps his overall value.
7th round, 257th overall	Detroit Lions (from Cleveland Browns)	Jermar Jefferson	5’10 206/RB-Oregon State	222/4th Round	Jefferson is a smooth effortless runner who is light on his feet with good contact balance. He squirts through holes, picks his feet up and uses subtle slide steps that cover distance going laterally.
Minnesota Vikings
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 23rd overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Christian Darrisaw	6’5 314 LT-Virginia Tech	4/1st Round	The Vikings get one of the draft’s best offensive line talents after sliding back in the first round. Good moves again by the Vikings front office.
3rd round, 66th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Kellen Mond	6’3 211/QB-Texas A&M	147/3rd Round	Overall, the Aggies’ all-time leader in total offense has a dual-threat game that largely translates to today’s NFL game. To put it all in perspective, he had 18 games with a rushing and passing touchdown in school.
3rd round, 78th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Chazz Surratt	6’2 227/LB-North Carolina	132/3rd Round	Surratt is a converted QB and has limited reps as a linebacker although he did play safety in high school. The Tar Heels converted QB will be judged by his ability to learn the intricacies of the position, but in a short time he has shown the raw talent is there.
3rd round, 86th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Wyatt Davis	6’3 315/OG-Ohio State	63/2nd Round	The Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year has paved the way for Ohio State’s running game and likely a spot for himself early in the 2021 NFL Draft. We were probably most impressed with his ability to re-anchor in the pass protection aspect of his game. His ability to play with a base gives him a chance versus some of the quicker leverage-based defensive tackles he will face at the next level.
3rd round, 90th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Patrick Jones II	6’4 268/DE-Pittsburgh	97/3rd Round	We think the first-team All-American’s future in the NFL is as either a right defensive end or 30-front rush outside linebacker. As an outside linebacker, he will be able to operate with a little room to set up his pass rush moves. The former Virginia high school product has a game that blossomed the last two years after serving an apprenticeship role back in 2018 (23 tackles, 4 QB sacks, 7.5 TFLs, FF).
4th round, 119th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Kene Nwangwu	6’0 212/RB-Iowa State	171/3rd Round	Nwangwu, a former prep level track and field star, has battled injuries while in school. He bounced back positively from an Achilles tendon injury in 2017 to embody what the Iowa State program currently represents from a leadership perspective. Even though he played second-fiddle to first-team All-American Breece Hall, it should not be a reflection of his own diverse talent.
4th round, 125th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Chicago Bears)	Camryn Bynum	6’0 198/CB-California	236/4th Round	There may be questions about Bynum’s flat-out speed, but we think those may concealed if used in a Vonn Bell-type roll at the next level.
4th round, 134th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Buffalo Bills; conditional)	Janarius Robinson	6'5 266/DE-FSU	134/3rd Round	Games like the Clemson contest in 2019 display the potential of Robinson, who is a big defensive end with very good field speed. We even think he has the upside to potentially play an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. His quickness is tough to handle.
5th round, 157th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Ihmir Smith-Marsette	6'0 181/WR-Iowa	146/3rd Round	His foot speed is probably best represented with how well he carries his pads on Saturday afternoons. The instincts with the ball in his hands are first-rate, as is his peripheral vision to feel defenders around him in space.
5th round, 168th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from Pittsburgh Steelers through Baltimore Ravens)	Zach Davidson	6'7 248/TE-Central Missouri	250/4th Round	Plays TE and punts for the Mules. The team aligns him in the No. 2 slot, No. 3 slot, Y-TE and offset FB. If he can improve as an in-line blocker and eliminate the drops, his foot speed and athleticism gives him a chance to become even more.
6th round, 199th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Jaylen Twyman	6’2 301/DT-Pittsburgh	316/4th Round	It was impressive that he pumped out 40 repetitions at 225 pounds on his Pro Day in March. However, that really isn’t his game when you turn on the film. The 2019 second-team All-American has some lower body strength, but he is most satisfied winning with arm overs and swim moves.
Chicago Bears
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 11th overall	Chicago Bears (trade from New York Giants)	Justin Fields	6’3 227 QB-Ohio State	31/2nd Round	Fields goes to a football team where he can add arm strength to pierce balls through the wind and add diversity to the team’s running team.
2nd round, 39th overall	Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)	Tevin Jenkins	6’6 317/OT-Oklahoma State	20/2nd Round	Jenkins needs more technique work, but he has improved for the most part during his career.
5th round, 151st overall	Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)	Larry Borom	6’5 327/OL-Missouri	183/3rd Round	He should not have a problem with the power of the NFL game due to his wide base and strong trunk. Dealing with the speed of NFL pass rushers, however, could become an issue.
6th round, 217th overall	Chicago Bears (via Tampa Bay Buccaneers (compensatory selection)	Khalil Herbert	5’8 204 RB-Virginia Tech, Kansas	203/4th Round	It was a bit of a surprise that Herbert never returned kickoffs while at Kansas, but he became a hit at Virginia Tech in that regard. In addition, his ball security ranks as a plus entering the NFL. Herbert never fumbled in the Big 12 or ACC. He may not have a dominant trait, but his smooth nature makes him difficult to get a grasp on down-to-down.
6th round, 221st overall	Chicago Bears (compensatory selection)	Dazz Newsome	5’10 190/All-purpose-North Carolina	190/4th Round	His 188 career receptions are supported by a nine yard per carry average and over 11 yards per punt return. Newsome is an all-purpose weapon with upside in the slot or the return game.
6th round, 228th overall	Chicago Bears (compensatory selection)	Thomas Graham, Jr.	5'10 193/CB-Oregon	112/3rd Round	Prior to opting out of the 2020 season, he had already put together a full career’s worth of film for NFL teams to devour. He’s tough, competitive, sturdy and generally displayed good technique week-to-week in the Pac-12. He works to stay aligned in the team’s coverage concepts and is rarely out of position.
7th round, 250th overall	Chicago Bears (from Seattle Seahawks)	Khyiris Tonga	6’2 325/DT-BYU	171/3rd Round	Did 35 bench press reps at 225 pounds. In today’s NFL, the splash interior defensive line prospects typically are able to work to half a man for quick penetration. This is not Tonga’s game. Where he does flash in the passing game revolves around his timing to cloud passing lanes. He finished his career with 12 pass deflections.
Green Bay Packers
Selection	Team	Player Selection	Position- School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Notes
1st round, 29th overall	Green Bay Packers	Eric Stokes	6’1 194/CB-Georgia	35/2nd Round	Stokes continued to get better year-to-year, but prior to 2020 he hadn’t finished on the ball. The 10.39 100-meter sprinter finished with four interceptions as a senior.
2nd round, 62nd overall	Green Bay Packers	Josh Myers	6’5 310/OC-Ohio State	168/3rd Round	10 1/2” hands. Myers is capable of getting to most of his spots but his hand placement is a question mark. He is a fit in a zone blocking scheme and it might be at a guard position as opposed to center.
3rd round, 85th overall	Green Bay Packers (from Tennessee Titans)	Amari Rodgers	5’9 212/WR-Clemson	99/3rd Round	Rodgers was just five months removed from a spring ACL tear (knee injury) in 2019, so did Tigers fans truly see the best he had to offer? If 2020 was any indication, then probably not. He looked stronger, more decisive and faster as a senior. In addition, his route-running savvy took another step forward. At 211 pounds, he is more than willing as a blocker, runs well after the catch and separates with timely cuts on option patterns.
4th round, 142nd overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Royce Newman	6’5 306/OL-Ole Miss	234/4th Round	He has started at OG (LG) and moved to RT in 2020. Allowed just one QB sack at OG in 2019. Plays with hot feet. We think he has positional versatility as a backup at three-to-four different line spots.
5th round, 173rd overall	Green Bay Packers	Tedarrell Slaton	6’4 330/DT-Florida	416/5th Round	He seemed to get his weight down to around the 340-pound range in 2020 and it helped him play with more consistency. The projected two-down defender has upside as a zero-technique in three-man fronts and one-technique in four-man schemes.
5th round, 178th overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Shemar Jean-Charles	5'10 184/CB-Appalachian State	171/3rd Round	Team captain. One of the areas which stands out with Jean-Charles is his ability to accelerate in the move area (12-to-16 yards). Whether it is playing off-man or using a bail-and-run, he accelerates with energy once the receiver makes a decision to go vertical.
6th round, 214th overall	Green Bay Packers	Cole Van Lanen	6’5 304/OT-Wisconsin	156/3rd Round	Van Lanen has enough length to keep defenders at bay, but he is somewhat narrow overall. It will be import for him to unlock his hands with increased urgency to handle NFL-style pass rushers.
6th round, 220th overall	Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection)	Isaiah McDuffie	6'2 225/LB-Boston College	248/4th Round	Collegiately, McDuffie was able to outrun a number of his mistakes. We don’t anticipate that remaining the same at the NFL level. The second-team All-ACC linebacker is a run-and-chase type who will need to be covered up as a Will linebacker.
7th round, 256th overall	Green Bay Packers	Kylin Hill	5’10 214/Mississippi State	83/3rd Round	His low center of gravity allows him to slide and dart with square-stance cuts to get back north-south. In 2020, no one was expecting to see Hill get 20 carries per game in first-year head coach Mike Leach’s air raid system. He never received more than seven (in a game).

Eric Stokes CB Green Bay Packers — **2021 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North:** Eric Stokes was drafted by the Green Bay Packers with the 29th pick overall.

2020 NFL Draft Recap: NFC North

April 29, 2020 DraftNasty Staff Reports Leave a comment

Green Bay Packers	Notable picks: Deguara showed patience setting up his routes, good hand-eye coordination and improved blocking skills in 2019. While not a burner, he plays fast and brings toughness to the table. He was a solid kickoff cover guy early in his Bearcats career.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (26)	Jordan Love	6’3 224 QB-Utah State	35/2nd Round	Love’s playing style (VIDEO) has some similarities to starting QB Aaron Rodgers. Using his eyes with more effectiveness to maneuver defenders should be on the top of his to-do list.
2 (62)	A.J. Dillon	6’1 247 RB-Boston College	64/2nd Round	Dillon’s physical prowess is defined by upper and lower body power. He is patient when following his pullers on power schemes (either inside or outside). Can he be a factor in pass protection? Will he even need to be with Aaron Jones in the mix?
3 (94)	Josiah Deguara	6’2 245 TE/H-back-Cincinnati	136/3rd Round	At the prep level, Deguara caught 24 TDs as a senior. This past season, he led the Bearcats with 7 receiving TDs as a flex/H-back option. He improved every year as an on the move blocker.
5 (175)	Kamal Martin	6’3 240 LB-Minnesota	423/5th Round	The former all-state QB makes up for a relatively high playing disposition with good feet. Eliminating some of the wasted motion gives him a better chance to earn a spot as a special team contributor/backup.
6 (208)	Jake Hanson	6’4 303 OC-Oregon	454/6th Round	Hanson -a former DL with aggression- started 48 games in school. He was an effective communicator in the pre-snap when it came to line games and potential twists. Can snap-and-pull in confined areas.
6 (209)	Simon Stepaniak	6’4 321 OG-Indiana	434/6th Round	Stepaniak-who carries 10 3/8″ hands- was a 31-game starter in school and grappler at the OG spot.
7 (236)	Vernon Scott	6’2 205 DB-TCU	N/A	Scott made a statement about his film study when he recognized a bunch formation against Oklahoma on his lone career interception returned for a score. His tackling has been hit-or-miss (see Texas ’19).

Dillon (No. 2 pictured) powered his way behind a stout offensive line for three years. Boston College finished eighth nationally in rushing yards per game in 2019.

7 (242)

Jonathan Garvin

6’4 263
DE-OLB-Miami (Fla.)

219/
4th
Round

The smooth DE gained nearly 45 pounds in school and it didn’t really rob him of much short-area burst. He slips offensive tackles and defeats blockers in the run game, but he has to generate a go-to move to win in the NFL.

Chicago Bears	Notable Pick: The selection of Kmet means the Bears can now use a number of two tight end formations with both he and free agent signee Jimmy Graham. It is a clear sign that the team is intent on attacking the middle of the field in 2020.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
2 (43)	Cole Kmet	6’6 262 TE-Notre Dame	53/2^nd Round	The former left-handed closer on the baseball team handled multiple roles for the Fighting Irish. He can be effective on the move as an H-back or in-line as a tight end.
2 (50)	Jaylon Johnson	6’0 195 CB-Utah	73/2^nd Round	Johnson finished his career with seven interceptions (165 yards, 2 TDs) and 21 pass breakups.
5 (155)	Trevis Gipson	6’3 259 DE-Tulsa	128/3rd Round	Gipson’s ability to play the run from the four-technique position often took away pass rush opportunities. In that facet (pass rushing), he has to become a better bender overall.
5 (163)	Kindle Vildor	5’10 191 CB-Georgia Southern	54/2nd Round	Vildor was a team leader and excellent tackler while at Georgia Southern. He impressed in the postseason with 4.44 speed and an 11’1″ broad jump.
5 (173)	Darnell Mooney	5’10 176 WR-Tulane	295/4th Round	Mooney has the skill-set to run routes outside the numbers or in the slot. He has very good run after the catch skill.
7 (226)	Arlington Hambright	6’4 307 OL-Colorado, Oklahoma State	161/3rd Round	Hambright impressed protecting the blindside for quarterback Steven Montez as a senior in 2019 but largely was unavailable for Oklahoma State in 2018 due to a high ankle sprain.
7 (227)	Lachavious Simmons	6’5 290 OT-Tennessee State	N/A	Simmons’ aggressiveness getting off the ball as a left guard overcame the occasional balance issue. the first-team All-OVC selection has seen time at LG, RG and LT.

Minnesota Vikings	Notable pick: The number of picks could be considered what is notable. One pick of particular interest, however, is Metullus. During the pre-draft process, he seemed to go largely undervalued and the Vikings have traditionally struck gold with late round or free agent pickups after draft.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (22)	Justin Jefferson	6’1 202 WR-LSU	32/2^nd Round	Jefferson was already a good player in 2018, but his confidence soared in 2019. He enters the NFL believing no one can guard him in one-on-one situations.
1 (31)	Jeff Gladney	5’10 191 CB-TCU	55/2nd Round	Gladney’s competitiveness made him a fiery contributor for a Gary Patterson defense that requires a lot of man coverage from its cornerbacks. The Horned Frogs led the Big 12 in pass defense in each of the last three seasons. Gladney was a big reason why.
2 (58)	Ezra Cleveland	6’6 300 OT-Boise State	88/2nd Round	Cleveland is smooth, experienced and efficient with his footwork in pass protection. Can he maintain a consistent lockout? The former high school wrestler enjoys tying up defenders, but needs to improve his initial pop as a run blocker.
3 (89)	Cameron Dantzler	6’2 188 CB-Mississippi State	90/3^rd Round	Dantzler’s workouts didn’t reflect his instincts, timing and willingness to tackle. In Minnesota, the team will challenge him to trust his technique and he should be able to earn a role in nickel and dime packages as a rookie.
4 (117)	D.J. Wonnum	6’5 258 DE-South Carolina	252/4th Round	After a breakout sophomore campaign, Wonnum’s sack production diminished in 2018 due to injury (ankle). He began to regain his form in 2019.
4 (130)	James Lynch	6’4 289 DL-Baylor	57/2nd Round	The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year played up-and-down the Bears defensive front in school. Lynch finished his career with 33.5 TFLs, 7 PBUs and three blocked kicks.
4 (132)	Troy Dye	6’3 231 LB-Baylor	129/3rd Round	Dye’s teammates voted him the team’s defensive MVP as a rookie and it was a sign of things to come. Although angular by nature, Dye has unique eye speed, flexibility and field speed.
5 (169)	Harrison Hand	5’11 197 CB-Temple, Baylor	218/4th Round	Hand has good size, toughness and footwork. Technically, he is a work in progress (see UCF ’19). With that said, he brings capability in either man or zone coverage.
5 (176)	K.J. Osborn	6’0 205 WR-Miami (Fla.), Buffalo	246/4th Round	Osborn was arguably the Bulls best receiver in 2018 despite the presence of All-MAC receiver Anthony Johnson. The narrative largely remained the same at Miami (Fla.) as a grad transfer after the disappearing act of Jeff Thomas.
6 (203)	Blake Brandel	6’6 302 OT-Oregon State	529/6th Round	Brandel -a 48-game starter in school at both tackle spots- made most of his starts on the left side of the line (39). He has 10 3/8″ hands, 33 1/4″ arms and an 80 1/8″ wingspan.
6 (205)	Josh Metullus	5’11 210 S-Michigan	153/3rd Round	Metullus -a 38-game starter in school- is smart, communicates well and can get off of the hash marks. Michigan challenges all of its defensive backs in man coverage. He has shown aggressiveness as a tackler.

Michigan State’s Kenny Willekes, pictured, finished his career with 26.5 quarterback sacks and 51 tackles for loss.

7 (225)	Kenny Willekes	6’4 264 DE-Michigan State	104/3rd Round	Willekes -the 2019 Burlsworth Trophy Award winner- was the rare dominant former walk-on. He plays low enough, handles tight ends in the run game and times his snap count reactions. Will his leverage allow him to overcome his length deficiencies?
7 (244)	Nate Stanley	6’4 231 QB-Iowa	132/3rd Round	Stanley has all of the physical tools, but his work in the pre-snap phase of the game identifying fronts often allowed him to make checks at the line of scrimmage in the run game. He may have helped himself by playing in a postseason all-star game.
7 (249)	Brian Cole II	6’2 213 S-Mississippi State, Michigan	181/4th Round	Cole II -a one-year starter- timed his blitzes (off the slot or from the edge), covered the slot and played a LB-type position for DC Bob Shoop and the Bulldogs. The former WR also returned kicks in school.
7 (253)	Kyle Hinton	6’2 296 OG-Washburn	616/7th Round	Hinton’s Pro Day performance (4.9 40-yd, 34 1/2″ VJ) subsidized a decent showing during the 2020 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. During school, he showed the ability to get out and hit the occasional moving target.

Detroit Lions	Notable pick: The Lions have been searching for a Top 10 running back it seems like for the entire Matthew Stafford-era in Detroit. Can Swift be more than just a change of pace for Kerryon Johnson? If so, their running game could become a team strength as opposed to question mark.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (3)	Jeff Okudah	6’1 205 CB-Ohio State	11/1st Round	Okudah will be challenged in man-to-man coverage and that should fit his skill-set. The former high school safety brings an assertive nature similar to the last Lions cornerback taken in the Top 5 in the first round, Bryant Westbrook (1997 NFL Draft).
2 (35)	D’Andre Swift	5’8 212 RB-Georgia	7/1st Round	Swift has been afforded the luxury of being in a rotation during his career and this should remain the case in Detroit. An underrated receiver with outstanding peripheral vision as a runner, Swift’s only big knock was the occasional nick during school.
3 (67)	Julian Okwara	6’4 252 DE-OLB Notre Dame	186/4th Round	Okwara stood up, played both DE spots in school and even dropped into coverage effectively out of a two-point stance (see Michigan ’18). He has contributed effectively on the field goal block team.
3 (75)	Jonah Jackson	6’3 306 OG-Ohio State, Rutgers	225/4th Round	Jackson has started at right guard, center and left guard. Before arriving at Ohio State, he was a team captain at Rutgers. The criminal justice major plays with heavy hands and takes good angles in the run game, particularly on combination blocks.
4 (121)	Logan Stenberg	6’6 317 OG-Kentucky	110/4th Round	Stenberg -despite his height- latches LBs on the second level. He runs his feet on angle blocks and uses a solid skip-pull technique in confined areas. He has starting potential.
5 (166)	Quintez Cephus	6’1 202 WR-Wisconsin	130/3rd Round	Cephus overcomes small hands with confidence catching the ball, solid weight distribution and suddenness. We feel he has room to grow in either the slot or on the outside.
5 (172)	Jason Huntley	5’8 182 All-purpose-New Mexico State	385/5th Round	Electricity is the name of the game for Huntley in both the return game and as an all-purpose specialist. He can become even more effective with less touches, as he was in 2017 while playing with Larry Rose III.
6 (197)	John Penisini	6’2 318 DT-Utah	425/5th Round	Strong DL capable of slanting and spiking. The former Ute is satisfactory holding the point vs. double teams.
7 (235)	Jason Cornell	6’3 284 (E) DL-Ohio State	N/A	Cornell enjoyed a breakout season in 2019 with 4 QB sacks and 6.5 TFLs. He has played both DE and DT in school, and stood out in the 2019 CFP national semifinal.

Detroit Lions second-round pick D’Andre Swift averaged 6.6 yards per carry during his career at Georgia.

2019 NFL Draft recap, pick-by-pick: NFC North

April 29, 2019 Neverthere Leave a comment

Summers (No. 42 pictured) finished his TCU career with 319 tackles, 10.5 quarterback sacks, 23.5 tackles for losses, two interceptions and nine pass break-ups.

Green Bay Packers	Notable picks: DC Mike Pettine’s 30-front background makes sense considering we feel Gary is better versus the run or pass the closer he moves down inside. Savage won’t be handed anything, but we think he could challenge for a starting role relatively early in his career. Summers fits the profile of the linebackers currently on the roster.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (12)	Rashan Gary	Michigan	26/2nd Round	Gary’s effort was commensurate with what you would expect from a top pick, but he still needs work rushing from the outside. As he proved in 2017, he may be a better fit rushing the passer from an interior DL spot on third downs. He will be an effective four-technique DE.
1 (21) Acquired from Seattle	Darnell Savage	DB/Maryland	25/2nd Round	Savage could allow the Packers to use his multi-dimensional skills on first and second down in man coverage if he wins the starting spot opposite free agent signee Adrian Amos. Incumbent starter Josh Jones has started 12 games in two seasons.
2 (44)	Elgton Jenkins	OL/Mississippi State	18/2nd Round	Jenkins projects to center (and enjoys the position), but he has also started at tackle and guard. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get some looks at a couple of spots in training camp as the team seeks to play its best five linemen.
3 (75)	Jace Sternberger	TE/Texas A&M	112/3rd Round	Sternberger can run through the catch and is solid after the grab. The team has enough depth at tight end to employ some Ace personnel (2 TE, 2 WR, 1 RB) now that he has joined the mix. He has some similarities to New York Jets TE Chris Herndon.
5 (150)	Kingsley Keke	DL/Texas A&M	128/3rd Round	Keke has all of the tools to develop into a multi-purpose DL. As he has done in school, we think he is capable of lining up over the center in sub-packages in reduced fronts. He has a chance to compete for a four-technique position in their base fronts.
6 (185)	Ka’dar Hollman	CB/Toledo	299/4th Round	Hollman went from former walk-on to steady hand within the Rockets program. His feel for the game gives him a chance and his special teams ability could help him compete for a fifth or sixth DB role.
6 (194) Acquired from Seattle	Dexter Williams	RB/Notre Dame	260/4th Round	Williams has the ability stick his foot in the ground to get north-south. Despite running in the high 4.5-range, he proved capable of finishing long runs in school. He could provide a change of pace option to Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones. How he performs on special teams could determine his fate.
7 (226)	Ty Summers	LB/TCU	118/3rd Round	Summers’ 4.51 speed is a big reason he produced 121 tackles back in 2016. The team used him in more of a pass rush role this past season and his numbers don’t reflect his ability to play the exchange LB. He could surprise in training camp. Summers finished with the second-most tackles in the Gary Patterson-era at TCU.

Ridley (No. 8 pictured) led the Bulldogs with nine touchdown receptions in 2018. His physical playing style earns high marks.

Chicago Bears	Notable Pick: The team came into the 2019 NFL Draft with a couple of goals. One of them was finding a complement to Tarik Cohen and the selection of Montgomery was a step in the right direction. The team drafted a receiver from Georgia for the second straight year. Whyte often played second-fiddle to Devin Singletary at FAU, but he may been the Owls best home run threat in 2018.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
3 (73) Acquired from New England	David Montgomery	RB/Iowa State	62/2nd Round	Montgomery is the rare running back with the peripheral vision and foot quickness to make five-yard highlight film runs. He will complement Tarik Cohen well and make up for the loss of Jordan Howard.
4 (126)	Riley Ridley	WR/Georgia	86/3rd Round	Ridley’s 199-pound frame supplements sufficient play strength. He is an efficient route runner who works the sidelines well. We think he is physical enough to play a hold-up position on punt return, possibly run down from a wing or tackle on the punt team and he should be able to contribute in kick coverage. With all of that said, he had just one career tackle in school.
6 (205) Compensatory pick acquired from New England	Duke Shelley	CB/Kansas State	439/6th Round	This is a pick that continues to account for the loss of stud nickel Bryce Callahan (Broncos) in free agency. Shelley is tough, quick and plays bigger than his size. He finished his career with 8 interceptions and 31 pass break-ups.
7 (222) Acquired from Philadelphia via Denver	Kerrith Whyte	All-Purpose/FAU	380/5th Round	Whyte, a junior-entry, ran 4.36 (40-yd) and posted a 42-inch vertical on FAU’s Pro Day. He accounted for 8 rushing TDs and averaged 28.7 yds/KR in 2018.
7 (238)	Stephen Denmark	CB/Valdosta State	102/3rd Round	It was encouraging that Denmark was such an aggressive tackler as a former college wide receiver, but not much of a surprise considering his 6’3, 215-pound frame. He posted a 43 1/2-inch vertical jump and ran in the 4.4s on his Pro Day. He has excellent late vision ball skills.

Smith (No. 82 pictured) was often a favorite target of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He averaged over 16 yards per reception in 2018 and notched seven touchdowns.

Minnesota Vikings	Notable pick: The team understood value in this year’s draft and didn’t reach for any of its picks. Smith, Jr. may serve as insurance as Kyle Rudolph enters the last year of his contract. Mattison is an explosive insurance commodity and relief pitcher for Dalvin Cook, who has struggled to stay upright. Keep an eye on Watts. He was one of the nation’s best interior pass rush artists in 2018 after being invisible for most of his career.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (18)	Garrett Bradbury	OC/NC State	10/1st Round	One of the safest players in the 2019 NFL Draft, the former tight end has unique athletic traits for the center position. He is a perfect fit for the Vikings zone-based run scheme.
2 (50)	Irv Smith, Jr.	TE/Alabama	80/2nd Round	If there is a knock on Smith, it could revolve around his relative lack of length. He is an effective on the move blocker who excels creating room at the top of his routes. He is reminiscent of New York Giants tight end Evan Engram, but enters the league as a slightly better blocker.
3 (102)	Alexander Mattison	RB/Boise State	156/3rd Round	The former high school wrestler is more elusive than he is given credit for running in-between the tackles. One aspect of his game that was slightly underrated was pass protection. He contains legitimate lift-and-rise in that aspect. Mattison also posted 60 career receptions.
4 (114)	Dru Samia	OG/ Oklahoma	142/3rd Round	Samia’s experience at multiple spots boosts his value. He has the right element of ‘nasty’ in his game but quicker defenders have caused him to lose his poise at times. He will have an opportunity to grab a fifth or sixth OL spot.
5 (162)	Cameron Smith	LB/USC	304/4th Round	Smith surprised many in the postseason when he put together explosive pre-draft testing numbers. He hasn’t always been consistent in man coverage, but his eye speed and football intelligence give him a chance to fight for a backup role in camp.
6 (190)	Armon Watts	DT/ Arkansas	307/4th Round	Watts came on strong in 2018 and could have gone much higher if not for one year of production. He could vie for a pass rushing role if he can play more consistently with his hands.
6 (191)	Marcus Epps	S/Wyoming	382/5th Round	The Burlsworth Trophy Award finalist often drew secondary marks to safety-mate Andrew Wingard, but his ability to trigger when he sees the action stood out. He was the safety often in coverage when Wingard roamed the field. 325 career tackles, 9 INTs and 22 PBUs.
6 (193)	Oli Udoh	OL-Elon	104/3rd Round	It is not often that a player with an 85 1/2-inch wingspan lasts this long in the draft. Some teams projected him to guard, but we think he has enough quickness to stay outside if he can improve his hand placement.
7 (217) Pick acquired from New York Jets	Kris Boyd	CB-Texas	99/3rd Round	For the second consecutive year, the Vikings traveled to Texas to pick up a cornerback. Boyd has one of the shorter memories in this year’s draft at cornerback, but he has to control his hands better in man coverage.
7 (239) Acquired from New England via Philadelphia	Dillon Mitchell	WR-Oregon	132/3rd Round	The quick-twitched former high school basketball standout could have been played the spot at the collegiate level. He uses that level of shiftiness to win in the slot and on the perimeter. He didn’t stand out as a punt returner, but that could be his key to grabbing a roster spot.
7 (247)	Olabisi Johnson	WR-Colorado State	317/4th Round	He never caught up to his breakout performance in the 2016 Idaho Potato Bowl, but he still finished his career with 125 receptions (16.2 YPR) and 11 TDs. He posted six tackles in 2018 and adds potential as a punt return option.
7 (250)	Austin Cutting	LS-Air Force	708/7th Round	Cutting has posted long snap times as low as 0.65 seconds and generally averages in the low 0.7-second range. He has excellent size at 6-foot-3, 240 pounds.

Fulgham, the Lions sixth-round pick, caught a touchdown pass in nine straight games for Old Dominion in 2018. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver has 34-inch arms and outstanding body control. He became the second ever Monarch drafted and the second in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Detroit Lions	Notable picks: The selection of Hockenson could open up opportunities in the middle of the field for Stafford with Golladay and Jones on the outside flanks. Fulgham -a receiver built in the mold of Golladay- had third-round value late in the draft. Tavai fits the type of inside linebacker the team covets, but he has also been a good pass rusher in school. Although Bryant went in the fourth round, he could be expected to contribute some edge presence in a room that needs to create more of a pass rush.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (8)	T.J. Hockenson	TE/Iowa	2/1st Round	Hockenson, the 2018 Mackey Award Winner, has proven capable of excelling as a run blocker. In addition, the former Hawkeye improved dramatically as a route runner during his redshirt sophomore campaign.
2 (43)	Jahlani Tavai	ILB/Hawaii	159/3rd Round	The former rugby star has underrated pass rush skills but an even better feel for how to adjust his outside-in charge. His game against Army in 2018 displayed his ‘want-to’ when it comes to getting to the ball.
3 (81) Acquired from Minnesota	Will Harris	S/Boston College	141/3rd Round	An experienced 41-game starter, Harris brings strong safety potential to the team. His special teams capability stretches back to time earlier in his career.
4 (117) Acquired from Atlanta	Austin Bryant	DE/ Clemson	238/4th Round	Bryant is a power rusher with just average bend. Despite that, he was just as productive in stretches as many of the other Clemson DL who went in Round 1. Durability is a concern.
5 (146)	Amani Oruwariye	CB/Penn State	102/3rd Round	The biggest key for Oruwariye in transitioning to the next level will come down to trusting his eyes. He left a number of potential interception opportunities on the ground even after producing slick plant-and-drives. The team will ask him to re-route receivers and play multiple coverages. He has the skills to do both.
6 (184)	Travis Fulgham	WR/Old Dominion	84/3rd Round	Fulgham has 34-inch arms and jumps well to time passes outside the numbers. Perhaps just as impressive is his ability to stem the defensive back on short-to-intermediate routes. His body control is a big reason he caught a touchdown in six straight games in 2016 and nine straight games in 2018.
6 (186) Acquired from Atlanta	Ty Johnson	All- Purpose/ Maryland	111/3rd Round	The Lions have an outstanding kickoff returner in Jamal Agnew, but he played in just six games in 2018. Johnson is one of the draft’s best kickoff returners and he runs in the 4.4-range. Expect him to battle it out for return opportunities in training camp.
7 (224)	Isaac Nauta	TE/Georgia	193/4th Round	Postseason workouts didn’t do Nauta any favors, but he does everything better on the field than in T-shirts and shorts. In a deep tight end room, he will have to showcase sufficient field speed on special teams to find a roster spot.
7 (229) Acquired from Detroit	P.J. Johnson	DT/ Arizona	N/A	Johnson posted tackles for losses in six of his ten appearances in 2018. He has enough upper body strength to clog the middle but can also win on occasion with surprising quickness.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, 12-23-18: In-game report

December 24, 2018 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

The Vikings used an old formula to stay in the NFC playoff picture and defeat the Lions on the road. Minnesota relied on a turnover- free game and a solid defensive effort to beat Detroit, 27-9. DraftNasty’s Troy Jefferson gives his impressions in this in-game report:

Lions receiving weapons

In 2014, the Lions featured two 1,000-yard receivers in former wideouts Golden Tate III and Calvin Johnson.

The Lions traded away Golden Tate and now lack proven weapons on the outside. Detroit tried to mask its deficiencies with conservative third down play calling that often featured runs and screens on 3rd and long, but those weren’t effective against a stout Vikings defense. Kenny Golladay has become a contributor, catching 70 passes for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns on the season. However, the Vikings began to key in on him and roll coverage his way as he posted just six catches for 58 yards on 15 targets. Detroit has had its issues with drafting receivers in the past, but the team is in desperate need for playmakers on the outside.

Vikings offensive gameplan

The formula against the Bears on Sunday will be simple for the Vikings: run the ball and don’t turn it over. Despite his 29:10 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Cousins has struggled against teams with winning records in his career and this year has been no different. Last week, the Vikings fired offensive coordinator John DeFilippo before his first season as coordinator could even come to an end. Quarterbacks coach Kevin Stefanski has taken over and he’s been with the team since the mid-2000s, which means he knows traditionally the Vikings bread has been buttered with its run game. Against the Lions, Dalvin Cook carried the ball 16 times for 73 yards and was the go-to man on 3rd and shorts. Cook and Latavius Murray should both see 10-to-15 carries apiece and Stefanski will probably opt to play a conservative field position game against the stingy Bears defensive front seven.

Minnesota defense

The Chicago Bears have dominated headlines in the NFC North but the Vikings still have a defense that can be counted upon. Their problem has been at times they have been forced to play perfect football where as in Chicago there’s a little bit more margin for error. On the season, the Vikings rank in the top ten in passing yards allowed per game, points against and total yards allowed per game. They also rank 11th in rushing yards allowed per game. Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Sheldon Richardson and Tom Johnson have combined to form their own Purple People Eaters group, totaling 29 sacks. The front end and back end complement each other well in Minnesota and this defense is still a unit to be reckoned with week-to-week.

Detroit Lions vs. Miami Dolphins, 10-21-18: In-game report

October 24, 2018 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

The Miami Dolphins (4-3) missed a chance to keep pace with the New England Patriots in the AFC East after falling to the Detroit Lions (3-3) at home. The Lions used a stifling secondary and an efficient offensive attack to win the game. DraftNasty’s Troy Jefferson gives his impressions in this in-game report:

Kerryon Johnson

The rookie running back out of Auburn had his second career 100- yard rushing performance on Sunday. The Lions record would indicate that in order to win, they need production from Johnson. In the team’s three wins, Johnson has rushed for 109 yards per game and in their three losses he’s averaged 38 yards per game. On Sunday, Johnson rushed for 158 yards and kept the Lions in favorable down and distances, which resulted in them only having to punt once all afternoon. Johnson doesn’t just have an impact on the running game but the threat of his running ability has been enough to give quarterback Matthew Stafford, who finished with just four incompletions, cleaner looks on play action passes. The Lions used Johnson as a decoy to score their first touchdown after Stafford faked the handoff and threw a touchdown to tight end Michael Roberts. Johnson also gives the Lions a threat in the passing game (15 receptions on the season) and is a willing blocker in pass protection. If Detroit wants to continue to win against good teams, look for the Lions to rely on Johnson to bring a balance to the offense.

Lions secondary

Slay, Jr. was named a first-team All-Pro in 2017 and has shown few signs of slowing down.

The Lions secondary didn’t force Brock Osweiler into an interception but did play well enough in coverage to help force four sacks and give their team a commanding 20-7 advantage in the second half. Quandre Diggs came down from his safety position to fill in for Jamal Agnew, the team’s regular slot cornerback who is on IR due to a knee injury. Cornerback Darius Slay has continued his All-Pro performance from last season and played well on the outside. Slay prevented a would-be touchdown to Kenny Stills by bringing his hands through Stills’ hands and deflecting the ball away. For the game, Osweiler threw for 239 yards and almost a third of those yards came in the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach. Detroit’s secondary is the backbone of their defense and should serve them well against a number of top-tier quarterbacks in the NFC.

Mike Gesicki

DraftNasty highlighted Gesicki’s athleticism in advance of the draft last season and that athletic ability was on display against Detroit. The rookie from Penn State caught passes both as a hand in the ground tight end and when split out wide. Gesicki did a good job of chipping the defensive end before getting into the right seam and catching a pass in traffic. On another catch, Gesicki caught the ball over the middle on a crossing pattern and flashed his potential for getting yards after the catch. In total, Gesicki finished with three catches for 44 yards.
